It does take bells! You must have very large bells like maybe the Liberty Bell. It paid off these pieces of furniture look real. I even love looking at the sidewalk and how it changes as it becomes more distant. You are the master and I love learning from you. After I finish the run of severed heads I'm going to try velvet painting again. You've given me the bug, I have no bells. Wendy

The mottled look of the sidewalk is amazing enough for me then I see the yellow light source to the back, the cool white light source in the front, and the relative darkness in the middle - cool!

GROG surprised you painted the furniture before the walls inside the house. A lot of artists usually paint the farthest background elements before the closer foreground elements. Is that because of the characteristics of working on velvet or is that just your way of working?
